Hi folks,
anyone ever noticed any .desktop file of type "Directory" (Type=Directory)?

I was looking for such a file to check if my app handles them correctly.

For those who're not sure what I mean:

If it's indeed of type "Directory" - please do.
To check it, drag it into gedit, there should be a string "Type=Directory" there.
